>> no, i just think people get confused with elections. they try to act like maybe a race can only be about the race or independents. when you're running a presidential campaign, you're trying to do both. trying to make sure your core supporters are excited and energized to come out. taking all the steps with your ground game. but you have to reach out to this slender and small group of undecided voters in the middle what haven't made up their mind yet. some are conservative, some are liberal. they're still up for grabs. so the art of politics is you've got to kind of reach out to both at the same time. all the polls i see show that governor romney has great enthusiasm with the base of our party and if he's tied or better with independents, that means he's in a great position in this race. >> well, we shall see. jen, matt, thanks to both and now, our fourth story. a story of mental illness and drug abuse. tonight, we are learning new and disturbing details about the life of johnny lewis in the months and weeks before he murdered his elderl
